Bella's 2nd Halloween

Saturday was Bella's 2nd Halloween. On Friday, Bella started to come down with a cold. It was a real bummer because we had tickets to the Phoenix zoo Howl O ween festivities. We decided to keep her home Friday night and Saturday morning I took her to the Dr. to make sure her ears were clear, and that it was just a cold. Turns out it was just a run of the mill cold so she was clear to trick or treat. However, I felt it was best to not trick or treat with the Tortora family so that Bella would not get Guiliana sick. That made us sad because we were really looking forward to going as a big family again, but we didnt want to get another baby sick.

So, I made Bella's favorite dinner of spaghetti, cesar salad, and garlic bread. My mom, Nino Steve, and Auntie Jen joined us for dinner as well. Then, we all got ready to hit the streets to trick or treat. Eric really wanted Isabella to be a ladybug , and we found the cutest costume for her. Jen also found a lady bug costume in her size so the girls were twins. Our neighborhood was packed with kids and families. Bella was a little grumpy because she didn't feel well, but once we got going she was having a great time. She'd go up to the door say "knock knock" and then when they would open the door she would walk away. it was super cute! We occasionally got a "treat" out of her, but for the most part she didnt care too much about getting candy. :) After a little under 2 hours, we came home and had a piece of Pumpkin cheesecake, which Bella loved! Overall, it was a great time with our family/friends. We are looking forward to next Halloween!
